At in rat a Its nr-sent nooula io of nearly 500.000 Is far great er than Its founders, saieiy bam smd the Careful Twins, ever -dreamed it would be. Safety Town's boosters, who -range from three to 15 years In age, bare been recruited through a -tea-minute-a-day broadcast by CM OX. Tbey are organized as the Careful Children's club. When they started preaching the gospel of safety about three years ago, Safety Sam and the Careful Twins figured they might met 50,000 members for the club If their technique was successful. The kids surprised them. Kvcry week the roster has arrows by the hundreds. Requests for the club's membership button, pledge card and song still pour In wtth every mail. Eaeh night the Careful Twins, known as Handy Andy and Ready Sddy, have some new stunt to tiring home the idea of eliminat ing carelessness and accidents. Sometimes they .read letters from members telling how they bare helped the safety cause. Again they present playlets. Always the club's slogan "One thought for safety is worth a ' thousand regrets," is emphasised. Handy Andy ana neaay maay, wha ere W. F. Yorger and H. J. Srammeler of the St. Louis.

In their membership pledge the children, promise not to take chances not to steal rides on au tomobiles or street cars, -not to play in streets,' always to look " carefully before crossing an in tersection, not to fool with f ire sums, matches or stoves, not to touch dangling wires or take med icine from a bottle without a la bel, and to stay in shallow water until they learn how to swim. ilBEES ABE MUZZLED than 1,000,000 acres will be af fee ted. The mala purpose a decade ago was one of economic considera tion. The farms had to be eared from the advancing sands. Today the interest is mostly that of Jeau- tiflcation. Resort owners anxious for the tourist, trade look to the tree to add beauty to the lake shore by stopping the march of the lake ; sands. Sand dunes along Lake Mich igan are not more than 300 or 400 feet wide but may extend more tban a mile in length. Trees serve as a windbreak. Their leaves form a humus over the soil which keeps it compact, and the roots bind the band mbre closely together. Farm land Is enriched by the addition of organic matter. Englewood A combined program, including a Christmas play, will be given the Friday before Christmas room will furnish part of the en tertainment. Stars for penmanship were given by Mrs. Clara Pomeroy, writing supervisor to fourth, fifth and sixth grades. These children are in Miss Erma Sad dlers, Miss Genevieve Anderson, and Miss Mildred Severson's rooms. GlrlS in fourth and fifth grades had a candy sale. The money was used to repair a vlctrola and buy records. Mrs. Sadies Grant's beginning class is working on a Christmas toy project. Tbey are making sheep, chickens, hobby-horses, kites, hot dish mats, and picture frames. The 5 B class under Mrs. Ban croft Is studying lumbering In the western United States. The pupils are building a sand table project showing the lumbering industry from the time the loggers notched the trees for felling, to shipping the finished lumber to a foreign country from one of the seaports. The upper grades finished the study of Mexico with a set of lan tern slides of that country. The teaching staff of Engle wood is 100 percent In member ship in the National Educational association. The state association, and the local association all have taken one or more classes In ex tension work from the University of Oregon. There have been 385 pupils en rolled. Thirteen have been trans ferred, 29 came from other school systems; 38 were never la school and 37 came from ether build ings In the city, making a turn over in the student body of 34.3 per cent.

Norway, Russia and Swit serland have- started crusades against liquor, but Portuguese au thorities encourage an opposite policy. . i 'Although the Portuguese - peo Isle ale proverbially sober and' the price of wine ridiculously low, the dwindling of foreign markets for wines have created a difficult sit uation. The Portuguese are urged there fore, to drink more wine and less beer in the Interests of the na tional industry. A sharp fight is being waged between wine Interests and brew ers. The latter lowered the price of beer in order to raise the con sumption of the frothy beverage. Wine growers at Oporto have re taliated by. lowering their prices. The government is inclined to throw the weight of its Influence on the side of the wine merchants. So a new tax on beer will be lev led and its sale restricted to cer tain hours of the day. -telieJunior'High Events r Banquet HeU for Football Boys; Students Gathering Do nations for Needy; Several New Club' Formed - For the first time la the history of football at Leslie Junior high school, the football team was ban queted at the close of the season, when six of the teachers prepared and served a dinner Thursday night.
